Györi Audi ETO KC (HUN) vs FC Midtjylland (DEN) 29:26 (16:11)

European Handball Federationsaid, both teams started as if they play in such high pressure games every week, there was no trace of nervousness as Győr and Midjtylland went head to head in the first five minutes. Lunde set the tone of the game with a couple of brilliant saves and Győr’s defence settled into the match quickly when the holders went three up. Still, it was surprising that the Hungarian team did not want to slow down the tempo but rather challenged Midtjylland in running.

Although Midjtylland had considerable problems when the Győr defence had time to take up formation, the Danish were eager to prove they are rightful participants of the FINAL4 and managed to stay close to the holders. Katarina Bulatovic and “deputy” playmaker Anikó Kovacsics shot over the Danish wall and Győr extended their lead to six goals.

With an eye on Sunday’s duties both teams started rotating, which seemed to help the Danish who came a little closer by the interval but Győr was in firm controll of the game.
